KauaiEV – Kauai Electric Vehicle Association

What We Do

Our Mission Statement: KauaiEV is providing electric vehicle information and EV charging solutions for Kaua’i.

We hold classes, and talk stories, EV ride and drives, festivals and other public EVents (interrupted by Covid at the moment) and guide individual EV buyers through the purchasing process.

About our board of directors

Electric vehicles are fun to drive. They are smooth and quiet, and their high torque – even at low speeds – provides instant accelerator response. EVs are cheaper to maintain. Maintenance for EVs costs much less than for gasoline vehicles. EVs require no oil changes and have 10 times fewer moving parts than a gasoline-powered car. There’s no engine, transmission, spark plugs, valves, fuel tank, tailpipe, distributor, starter, clutch, muffler, or catalytic converter. Switching to electric vehicles is one of the biggest steps we can take to reduce our dependence on oil and cut dangerous air pollution. Each year in the US we burn roughly 121 billion gallons of oil in our passenger cars and trucks.
